yite your attention to the time when Mr. Reagan
entered the legislature after the war. Let me Re-
mind you of the bill that was carried IN loI2. heD
that bill went through who arose TO protest
II was that grand cid statesman John H. Reagan,
and he said: "Unless you put something IN Una,
bill for my country, meet with you no more.
Gentlemen, that ia not the only thing In Whlcn ne
WIS engaged In great many interests OF the
country he was engaged. In all interests ne mas
beeR on the side of the people. He has fought
every railroad that was built I'LL II was put In Tue
ands of his cOuntrymen, and he has tried to con
troll those that were alre 'dy in ext tence After
twenty five years of labor, he has met with sue

GOV. Irrlaud, while the halo surroe'ds the one
who has just come in; neither would reflect upon
the genius of a. W Terrell but let us give to these
gentlemen their due Does not the history OF this
country show that they never can.
cal your attention to the state OF
affairs that existed perhaps twelve years
ago in our district Mr.. heagan
was then a prominent gentleman, aes was Mr.
MaXey. Mr. MaXey has neen honored in every
way that the people Of Texas could honor MN.
/ ask y0u if the people can afford TO- pass by Mr..
Reagan and not show their lngratitude! Where
now il Thurman, vino dared to stand forth with
Reagan? Where is Van Wyck, who had the coar'
| are to stand against his own party! Will you
place the action of Mr. Reagan upon record az In
| favor of monopoly or against it! This is CUES
ton not against Reagan and MaXey, Terrell and
| Ireland: il is question of the liberty OF the
country. ReCOlect thai every vote that goes into
that ballot box for Reagan goes for the people ana
their rights, az a death stab to MONOPOLY
